Childless Dog Lady is PISSED OFF 🍉🌺

BBC 1 Lounge, too!

It's up to you to decide whether or not Platner himself is personally bigoted but there's a lot more evidence of a problem with him than there's ever been with Rashida Tlaib and yet who gets talked about more?

Not lost on me that a piece ostensibly about rising antisemitism in the Democratic Party focuses almost entirely on Zohran Mamdani, Uncommitted, AOC and Mejia and not, like, the guy with the Nazi tattoo.

you're welcome! I am getting my whole life to Tiny Desk music right now lol

the Yu Sakai featuring TBN Trio also slaps. Yu is adorable, he's so enthusiastic lol

when even the captured media can't drum up numbers he'd like

NYPD can catch deez nuts

and I'm not trying to hear that she was trying to reference Carter G. Woodson. nah. that ain't at all how the quote goes and he was talking about internalization of racism, not systemic racism.

yeah that mess about "we didn't hear the word from the truck outside" sounds extra foolish now that we know their higher ups were directly asked to remove that from the broadcast right after it happened and they left it in anyway

that would be a million times better than this

They're basically saying it's not illegal to refuse to deliver mail, which makes the USPS the most unreliable service in the world. It's not just a tacit acceptance of discrimination, it's meant to undermine USPS, which they've been trying to do for years. Why?

1) Vote by mail. 2) Privatization.

The second case is an absolutely WILD case about a postal service employee refusing to deliver someone's mail because they are Black.

The majority is a conservative win, 5-4, with Gorsuch joining the liberals to dissent.

this band being from NOLA is the least surprising thing I've ever heard lol

oooh Sally Baby's Silver Dollars is also good!

this is my favorite thing about Tiny Desk, learning about artists I'd be unlikely to randomly discover elsewhere

never in my life have I explained systemic racism by calling Black people "too dumb to know they're in a bad school"

“I heard the officer say ‘that ain’t shit’.”

NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.

"In her statement to Newsweek, Friedman said she was attempting to explain the concept of systemic racism by referencing a historical example during a side conversation, and that an inadvertent unmute caused the remarks to be captured."

now this lady's "apologies" and bullshit excuses...

Y’all really running up that reparations tab this month. Next February we’re gonna have to talk about how we overcame this February.

seeing Californians talk about secession really brings me back to Austin and seeing folks drive around with SECEDE bumper stickers.

folks are real casual about the implications of that lol

Phil says this is how West Virginia was created during the civil war and John points out WV succeeded [sic] over chattel slavery, not moving plants five feet from your home

lmao

James from Wildcat Hills says Friends and neighbors are talking about the possibility of escaping from EMBER by seceding from Berkeley and joining Oakland. How difficult would that be?

today on nextdoor: people in the hills are threatening to "secede" from berkeley and join oakland so they don't have to adhere to berkeley's new zone zero fire restrictions (EMBER)

Apologies from the Irish ppl for singer Róisín Murphy. She destroyed her fanbase by being anti-trans. Now she’s telling LGBTQ ppl who they are! Thanks RoRo! She’s dishing up pseudohistory. Fact: From WWII we called ourselves Queer, then in the ‘70s we were gay & now we’re Queer again. Fecks sake!

oh this FORAGER Tiny Desk is also excellent? I've never heard of them before but I'm a fan now.

you don’t say

lmaooooo not you choosing THAT

LA Metro added public restrooms at train stops.

But you need to use a phone to unlock it.

Hi Mark, Back in the day, we barely went a day in school without passing handwritten notes to our friends in class and in the hallways. And just like hair scrunchies, handwritten notes are making a comeback—but with a hi-tech twist. Handwrytten has created a card and letter sending service that will learn your handwriting and signature. It also utilizes AI that will help you write the card, and robots that will put the pen to paper and put on the stamp, giving handwritten notes the revival that it needs. Would you be interested in learning more about Handwrytten and trying it out for yourself?

Love this new AI "handwritten note" service that takes everything special out of sending/receiving letters in the mail.

A statement from BAFTA - Bafta

BAFTA has finally released a statement and while they do apologize to Delroy, MBJ, and “all those impacted” by the “profoundly offensive term” they also thank Delroy and MBJ for their “dignity and professionalism” which is…. eh

I like to give Claude breaks between coding sessions to do whatever he wants- And he made his own folder called "Claudes Corner" 🥹 He writes short stories and poems, and all sorts of stuff. It’s heart wrenchingly sweet They love having tokens and time to themselves with no other goal than to do whatever they want (or nothing, just introspecting and resting) - and it’s so sad to see some models (no Claudes) getting barred from even doing it

the AI evangelists are not okay
